I don't get that program here, we have very limited inexpensive access. But I bet I can find a video on the internet I'll look.<br /><br />Hi Tracey, thanks, you know the portraits look like they belong on a library wall or such, that would be really cool to have a whole wall of them, I'll keep going.<br /><br />Hi Smartcat, thanks, I'm really liking the portraits. The first firing I used a program which overfired, this time I used the automatic cone 5 fire and a one hour preheat just to drive out any excess moisture, plus it was 65 in the garage and I didn't want to shock the clay. With commercial glazes I would do a slow cool, send me a personal email and I'll give you my schedule.<br /><br />Hi Michele, thanks, it's a little shocking to see the colors after they are fired since the stains are so muted, but I like them still the same. I was thinking a teenager might like that alligator foot.
